Today a friend shared the following status update on Facebook:

If I can smell your perfume because you walked past my office in the hallway, it probably means that you've got too much on.

This made me think about a pamphlet I picked up while applying for a job in Mendocino county which explains the statement "It's not the smell, it's the chemical" without having to engage in handwaving about multiple chemical sensitivity. I have attached it below.

It might be worth noting that this is really not restricted to women. I've got one word for you: Axe. Also, a lot of people smell strongly of dryer sheet. Stop it, seriously.
